Nice apartment but very noisy
I am currently renting a one bedroom apartment and after just two months, I'm already debating renewing my lease. The apartment is near a fire station and a large field that had sporting events. Neither are particularly noisy in my opinion.
Pros:The updated unit is nice, good lighting, decent appliances and cabinets, good closet space for the square footage, and a very nice vanity. Everyone has an assigned parking space, the garbage area is kept reasonably tidy, the laundry room is kept clean... , heat and hot water is included, the building is walking distance to the shops and restaurants on Bloomfield Avenue and also near public transportation.
Cons: The apartment is extremely noisy. There is absolutely no sound proofing between the ceilings and floor. I, unfortunately, moved under an elephant and the stomping wakes me up at all hours of the night (I am not a light sleeper)sometimes it is so loud that it sounds as if someone is stomping through my apartment. I've lived in apartments my entire life so I understand that some noise is to be expected but this is crazy. I can also hear the person who lives under me speaking through my bedroom floor.
There is no guest parking and no one can park on the street between 2-6am, and public transportation to NY isn't very convenient if you want to go enjoy nightlife. Lastly, the kitchen is a kitchenette so you can't have a full sized table.
